Ezekiel 36:26

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 36:16-38

Israel’s Inglorious Past and Their Glorious Future (Ezekiel 36:16-38 ). As we consider this section we should pause to consider the nature of Biblical prophecy. A Biblical prophet was not a foreteller like Nostradamus is seen as being, who declared events that would happen in the future so that people could mark them off and satisfy their curiosity about particular future historical events, he was rather one who declared what God was going to do. In his prophecy he was concerned with ends... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 36:25-26

“And I will sprinkle clean water on you and you will be clean. From all your filthiness and from all your idols I will cleanse you. I will also give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you. And I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh.” Let us first consider what was here on offer. ‘Clean water’ is mentioned nowhere else in the Bible. The ancients did not think in terms of clean water and dirty water. The only clean water could be... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 36:16-38

Ezekiel 36:16-Zechariah : . The Cleansing and Renewing of the People.— This is a passage of peculiar interest and importance, carrying us as it does far into the mind and theology of Ezekiel. First, we are reminded that Israel’ s sins— of bloodshed (whether child sacrifice or judicial murder) and idolatry— had obliged Yahweh to drive them into exile. In this way they had “ profaned His holy name among the nations,” who, according to ancient notions, naturally regarded Him as a worthless God,... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 36:26

A new heart; a renewed frame of soul, a disposition and mind changed from sinful to holy, from evil to good, from carnal to spiritual. See Ezekiel 11:19. A heart in which the law of God is written, as Jeremiah 31:33. It is a sanctified heart, in which the almighty grace of God is victorious, and turns it from sin to God. Will I give you; God takes it to himself, as indeed it is his only work, see Ezekiel 11:19. A new spirit: this is exegetical, and tells us what the new heart is; it is a new... read more

They are here personified: Israel’s elevation is moral, not merely physical, as Edom’s.Ezekiel 36:2. “The ancient high places.” “The perpetual heights are the natural mountains, as a figure of the unchangeable grandeur of which Israel boasted, because it had the Eternal for its protector, and in Him the security of its own perpetuity”... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 36:26

Ezekiel 36:26 (with 2 Corinthians 5:17 , and Revelation 21:5 ) I. Human hearts unappeasably cry out after change. Something new we all need, and because we need, we crave for it; and what we crave after, we hope for. The old we have tried, and it is not enough. In the future there may be what we need, and so long as there is a future, there is hope; but the past is dead. Now the best lesson which the years can teach us is, perhaps, this one, that the new thing we need is, not a new world,... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 36:1-38

Shall we turn in our Bibles now to Ezekiel 36:0 as we continue our study in this very fascinating prophecy.In chapter 36 Ezekiel is commanded to prophesy to the mountains of Israel. Now this is the second time he prophesied to the mountains of Israel. The first time was back in chapter 6, and he was prophesying the desolations that would come to the mountains of Israel and to the cities because they had built the high places on the mountains and worshipped the false images, idols, and gods. And... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Ezekiel 36:25-36

Ezekiel 36:25-36Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you. The new heartAll God’s bestowal of good must begin with cleansing. The black barrier of sin lies across the stream, and before His full goodness can reach us it must be broken and swept away. Experience teaches us that not only is sin the direct cause of many of our sorrows, but that it so clogs the heart that it keeps God’s love out, like an iron shutter which excludes the sunshine. Our deepest need, then, is to be delivered from sin,... read more
